Book Reviews of Dirt on My ShirtBook Review: Adorable! Summary: 5 Stars
This is a cute book of funny poems. I think it is a great book for 3-8 yr olds, but I don't know what the real rating is. I love to read this to my kids!
Book Review: Artwork A, poems C Summary: 4 Stars
This kids' poetry book is worth buying for the fluid illustrations, but the poems are a bit uninspired. One called "Sharing a Bed" reads: "Sharing a bed with your cousins, Is not the easiest thing, They toss and they turn, They giggle and snore, And sometimes, They just like to sing."
Nothing wrong with that, but it's no Dr. Seuss or Shel Silverstein.
But back to the art. Every page has a colorful pen-and-ink over watercolor that tells a story. A double-spread painting for "What Do You See?" includes a list of 33 things to search for. Another of "Uncle Keith" eating corn on the cob has him munching so fast he's a blur.
For more creative wordplay, check out Silverstein's Where the Sidewalk Ends as well as that late author's "new" title Don't Bump the Glump!.
Also great: Most any of the Skippyjon Jones titles or these Seuss classics:
There's a Wocket in My Pocket! Dr. Seuss's Book of Ridiculous Rhymes
Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You : Dr. Seuss's Book of Wonderful Noises
